David had a lifestyle of thanksgiving and praised God seven times a day. Because of this, God promised to defeat David's enemies and plague those who hated him. When people have a spirit of thanksgiving, it releases God's power to perform miracles in their lives. Thankfulness also brings encouragement, builds faith in others, qualifies one for more favors from God, leads to restoration, multiplication, healing, deliverance, blessings, God's glory, and can begin a new era.
